The Tutankhamun Illusion knit is 210 stitches high by 151 ridges of knitting wide (88cm by 65cm in using DK and knitting tightly with 3mm needles) and has been knitted to be viewed from the side.

It is intended to be used as a wall hanging or as the centre of a bed cover.

The completed item, in the colours I chose, has a luminous, almost holographic effect.

The final two photographs show the project when viewed from directly in front and directly behind.

September 2013 UpdateThe pattern now includes an extra chart intended for tablet users but others may find it helpful. You can view 20 ridges at a time and always be able to see the numbers across the bottom of the chart. Never lose your place again!
